American adults spend an average of more than eight hours each day
in front of screens, including televisions, computer monitors, cell phones and
others. Researchers have identified
sedentary behavior (time spent sitting) as a novel and potentially important
risk factor for development of chronic disease.
This 45-minute eye-opening workshop discusses the dangers of sitting,
the toxic impact on the body, and the steps we can take to alleviate the
devastating impact of this sedentary lifestyle.

Objecitve 3: Discuss the benefit of a
